Pursuit of the Insurgents.
BaLTIrORs, Oct. 19.-In pursuance of instruc
,;ons front the Governor, Gen. Stuart has comnmu
nicated orders to Gen. J. W. Watkins, of this city, a
to equip a body of mounted men immediately for o
sernice in the mountains near Harper's Ferry,
where many of the insurgents who were under
Cook have taken refuge, and the troops left yester
day afternoon.
ior. Wise, of Virginia, left yesterday morning b
for the scene of the insurrection.
Three artillery companies from Fort Monroe
arrived in this city yesterday morning, and are1
qeartered at Fort Mcllenry awaiting orders.
A despatch from Harper's Ferry, dated Tuesday '
noon, says only two of the insurgents escaped t
without being wounded, viz: Edwin Coppich, white,
(hilds Green, colored. They are both front Iowa.
The party originally consisted of only 22, of whom
15 were killed and two were mortally wounded on
Monday, soon after the storming of the Armory
and capture of the band. -
Some firing tojplace from the hills on the
Maryland side, wlch is supposed to have been
Cook'.s parting salute. The fire was returned, but
the party were too far distant for the fire to prove
ctfecti Ce.
Volunteers also have gone from the neighbor- ; 1
hoo'l in pursuit of the fugitives.
There are now probably a thousand armed men
eoncentrated at Harper's Ferry, and reinforce.'I
iucuts are pouring in from all qurrters.
Action of the U. S. Government.
WAsmnscrTos, Oct. 19.-A telegraph despatch
was yesterday transmitted from the Secretary of'
War, to Col. Lee, at Harper's Ferry, stating that I
District Attorney Ould would forthwith proceed to
this place, and at once institute legal proceedings
against the prisoners.
The despatch also states that orders had been
given to get a train ready at once to convey horses
and men front Washington to the scene of the riot,
and, to pursue the rioters into any State or locality
in the Union.
Illare's FRnav, Oct. 17.-One of the insnrgents,
who was killed, had in his pocket a captain's com
misasior, belonging to one Capt. T. R. Seeman, pur
porting to be issued under the authority of the
IPois;,i,td CGour,a',mnt of the United States. It
was dated October 1.5th, 1W59, and signed by A.
W. Brown, " Coumnander-in-Chief."
Planl alld pur)pose of the Insur
gents.
The whole number of insurgents was about 900,
,f whom 30 were whites and 61)o negroes. The
ita'er was one Capt. Brown of Kaapts notoriety,
who was urged on, as is now ascertained, by naRay
prominent abolitionists throughout the cointry,
and supported by their money.
The morment was no new thing, but originated
in a secretaboli.ion association f'ormed monthsago.
Its ranmifications were very extensive, sadits object
to set free the negroes net only in Maryland
tat to incite them to rebellion in adjoimiug States.
These facts are now ascertained by the confession
of the prisoners themselves. The excitement is
intense throughout the country.
Fromn cirmcunstances which have been brought to
light since thie nsurrection, it would appear that
tilt uprising had been in ceotemplation for months,
a:nd that all the plans were laid deliberately.
The place of rendezvous was a farm-house about
itar miles from Harper's Ferry. The place had
t,bn rented for the purposes of the insurrection by
one Capt. Brown, formerly of Kansas, who passed
eitler the assummed name of Smith.
At this farnmhouse were collected arms, ammu
;ition and stores of every kind that might be
needed in such an affair, and all were purchased
,,d brought there by Brown, who seems to have
been the chief plotter and ring4eader.
Prominent also among the inasurgents were one
Kogg, of Maryland, Seamen aed Brown, of Ohio,
and one Todd, of Maine. From the known charac
ter of these men and other things that. have trana
,pired, it is believed it was an A-boltioh nmovement.
A portion of the banditti bh"t prewviausly left
umlder the command of a leader ntmed Cook, who,
with a large party of slaves, su~s to be
tuoving towards Peansylvania.
A man named Allen Evans, of Newnglanmd, one
of the hand, was shot, and when dying heconfessed
that the scheme was gotten up by Blowfa, who rep
resented to those he wished to indece to follow him,
tbhat the negroes would rise by thousands, and
Maryland antd Virginia be made free States, this
Iting the chief object they had in view..
OBITUARY.
Dirt,, October the 22d, Josun P. Wmnrtrazs,
after a ligiertng and painful illness.
The deceased was born in the ParisFi of Rapides,
and throughout his life was widely known for the
:-oodness of his heart, which in many genero'u ad
lisinterested deeds has left its record in the hearts
el the living. Whlst in prosperity he found ines
greatest happiness in! using his fortune for the
enefi: of others and'prompted by generous feel
rlgs natural to him hie was ever ready to go him
,elf where either his liberality or sympathy were
needed to alleviate suffering humarity. Ilis hos
pitahity did not exclude trom his board the merest
beggar that passed hIis door and the snmentity of his
manners made his home, in years gone by, a favor
irto resort for the wealthy and intelligent of Rapids.
The unalltcted simpdicity of his manner made him I
accssible to all, while his loyal fidelity attached to
hina many warnm friends. The large concourse that I
attended his futnerwl, the grief that was depicted in
many faces and thle respectful silence preserved by
all was a fitting tribute of respect to the memory
of one who, though beneath the sod, wil: live long
ii the memories of the numerous beneficiria of
his gooduess.
lit fulfilment of his oft expresaed wish, the burial
"vrvices were conducted by Free Masons of which
arder while living, he was a zealous and active merp
her.
The sprig of evergreen thrown into his grave
1y each hbrother mason as he turned to leave was
beautifully enthbleumatic of the immortality of the
soul as wellas of the undimned freshness with
which the memory of the deceased shall live in the
hearts of those present who compose a noble
brotherhood and whom he is no longer one.
